Everything you need to coach runners and athletes, in one place
From the first workout you type to the last rep of the season: planning, watches, tracking, groups and the club admin around them.
Plan faster than in a spreadsheet
Write workouts the way you already do, and Athelista turns them into structured steps a watch can follow.
- Type a workout in plain words: "2k wu, 5 × 1k @ 5:30–45, 90 s jog, 1k cd"
- Paste a week straight from Excel or Google Sheets
- Step builder with warm-up, intervals, repeats inside repeats, and pace, heart-rate or cadence targets
- Templates and copy-a-week for plans you reuse
- Named paces ("5K pace", "tempo") that become each athlete's own pace
On every athlete's watch
Planned runs go to athletes' Garmin calendars for the week ahead, and update when you change the plan.
How Garmin and COROS sync works →- Each athlete gets their own paces and heart-rate zones, not one-size-fits-all numbers
- Completed runs sync back from Garmin and COROS automatically
- Runs match to the planned workout on their own; athletes can relink if needed
- No supported watch? Mark done, log by hand, or upload a FIT, GPX or TCX file
See who trained, at a glance
Your Today screen shows every session, who's done it, and who hasn't.
- Planned vs. done for distance, time and pace, for every athlete
- A "needs you" list: missed sessions with reasons, pain reports, watches that stopped syncing, big jumps in load
- Athletes rate how a session felt and send a quick morning check-in
- Lap-by-lap view of each run against the planned intervals
Coach groups and individuals
Clubs and group training are built in, not bolted on.
Athelista for run clubs →- Locations and groups with their own days and times
- One plan per group, with changes for a single athlete
- Pace groups, so each runner's intervals fit their level
- Cancel or move one session and everyone is told
- One invite link per group, with your own joining and health form
Strength and gym sessions
Running and strength in one calendar, so you see the whole week.
Athelista for strength coaches →- Exercise library with sets, reps, loads, rest, supersets and circuits
- Loads as % of 1RM, shown in each athlete's own kilos or pounds
- Mark done with effort, or match a strength activity from Garmin
Zones, load and race blocks
The numbers coaches use, worked out for every athlete.
Try the free heart rate zone calculator →- Heart-rate zones by % of max, heart-rate reserve or threshold heart rate
- Time in zones each week, and how much easy running stayed easy
- Fitness, fatigue and form from heart rate or session effort
- Goal races with countdowns, and training blocks counted back from race day
- Weekly distance, long run and personal records
Run the club, not just the training
The admin that usually lives in group chats and a notebook.
- Messages and announcements to a group or one athlete
- Fee tracking: who has paid and who is overdue
- Your team with roles: head coach, coach and front desk
- Athletes choose what each coach sees; health answers stay with the coach
